What is Elastic Storage?

Elastic storage is a system or service that enables on-demand discovery, provisioning, configuration and reclamation of storage resources. It is an essential element of automated infrastructure and cloud deployments.

How is Blockbridge used?

Blockbridge is commonly deployed as elastic block storage for a cloud or service-oriented infrastructure. Customers also use our security and management capabilities for secure storage, disaster tolerance, self-healing systems and intrusion detection.

What about Hardware?

Blockbridge software operates on any x86_64 based platform (bare-metal or virtual). You can deploy any block based technology: spinners, ssd, nvme, nvdimm, internal storage, DAS, SAN, etc. You can leverage existing storage investments as well as mix technologies, capacities, and vendors.

Does it scale?

A single domain scales to thousands of geographically distributed service endpoints. It’s easy to efficiently achieve massive capacity, IOPS and throughput. Most importantly, adding nodes does not scale the failure domain.

Software-Defined Storage?

Software-Defined Storage is basically the concept of utilizing software that delivers enterprise storage functionality on commodity hardware. This approach is compelling to many customers. Software-defined storage is one use case among many that Blockbridge is well-suited to enable within your environment.

Secure Multi-Tenancy?

Secure multi-tenancy refers to features and guarantees that protect assets from harm (ie. loss, exposure, tampering, etc). It’s a collection of hundreds of implementation details. Key generation, delegation, secure deletion, auditing, role based management, and intrusion detection are core features, not an afterthought.
